In Paint, Wilson plays Carl Nargle, the No.1 cable access painter in Vermont, who becomes threatened when a younger artist, played by Ciara Renée, is hired to attract a different demographic. This leads Carl down a path of insecurities about his own artistic talents, leading to what looks like an existential crisis.

“You’re entitled to your favourite TV show — that’s what makes this country great,” a vexed Carl reluctantly confesses before being depicted tossing a paint can at the wall.

While the trailer for the upcoming film might be reminiscent of Bob Ross and his show The Joy of Painting, this film takes inspiration from the famous artist but is not about him. The movie’s director, Brit McAdams, has put his own spin on things, making Paint a unique comedy that is sure to bring a smile to your face.

Wilson, known for his roles in Zoolander, The Royal Tenenbaums, Bottle Rocket, Loki, and The French Dispatch, is no stranger to the big screen. He continues to take on new projects and bring his comedic talent to the forefront. With Haunted Mansion on his docket, as well as executive producing Paint alongside Richard J. Bosner and Joel David Moore, the iconic actor seems to be keeping himself busy.

This film is produced by Peter Brant, whose credits include the serious paint-centric film Pollock, and Sam Maydew. With the movie’s talented cast and crew, Paint is could turn out to be a stroke of genius. So get ready to pick up your brushes and join Wilson on a colourful journey that will leave you feeling like you’ve just learned to paint the happy little trees.
